Already moving to Anfield in the summer transfer window. The Hungary International has been excellent for AFC Bournemouth and recording a good assist in their 2-2 draw in Tottenham Hotspur last weekend. That was the fifth goal that he scored this term and two packages, with the cherries who qualify for European football for the first time in their history.
Liverpool is expected to strengthen their team at the end of the season, despite cruising to the Premier League title. Left-back is an area that they can strengthen, with Andy Robertson now 31 years old and a long-term successor, while Kostas Tsimikas has never really threatened to become the first choice.
Kerkez is someone with whom many supporters are happy with this campaign based on his performances. 21 years old, his best years are a lot ahead and he has proven Premier League experience. According to the Italian journalist Romano, the former AC Milan Full-back is one of the three names on the shortlist of Liverpool who got the green light through lock. And the Reds continue to contact the representatives of Kerkez via a potential shock.
Romano said via Givemesport: “It is not something guaranteed or agreed at this stage, it is still early; But Liverpool wants to bring in a new left back in the summer, as well as a center-back and Kerkez is one of the three half names on the shortlist that has already been approved by Arne Slot.
“Contacts are expected to follow and continue in the coming months; The interest of Liverpool is real and concrete, because the 'world class' Kerkez is attracted by Champions League football for his future and there is an opportunity to let the deal happen this summer. Now we are waiting for the following weeks to understand when and how the contacts will continue. “
Liverpool is also said to follow Ajax Jorrel Hato. The 18-year-old is considered one of Europe's most exciting young talents, who has already made more than 100 performances for the Dutch giants and has been put off for the Netherlands five times. Hato is able to play in central and left -wing roles. Girona's Miguel Gutiérrez is also mentioned as a possible option. However, Girona is owned by the owners of Manchester City owners.
Slot has already admitted that Liverpool looks at possible any position that goes to the summer. Many of their things can be determined by the respective future of Virgil van Dijk, Mo Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold with the deals of the most important trio that end in June. None of the three still have to bind to new conditions.
Last month Liverpool -head coach said: “We look at every position and we look at the team, and I think we said this many times, we didn't do much last summer because we, Richard [Hughes, sporting director] Me and all other people involved just wanted to know how these players worked with me.
“Now we have a very good idea of ​​that. I am not going to tell you what positions we prefer, but it is clear that we have assessed the team, we have assessed what we think we can improve, and that is where we try to go in the summer. “
